Enjoy cocktails and conversation at Green Drinks Thursday at the Broad Theater

Sometimes sharing a drink with friends and acquaintances can lead to great opportunities. Green Coast Realty™s Ariana Tipper hopes that next Thursday’s Green Drinks event, which is being co-sponsored by LifeCity, turns into one of those lucky, life-changing moments for those attending.

“This will be a lot of fun for people to meet friends and network,” says Tipper. “ I’ll be taking a few moments to address everyone about buying home and building wealth. Buying a home isn’t as scary as people think it is, and there are now many programs that can help you get down payment assistance which is a huge barrier for many people considering homeownership.”

Jesse Mancuso of Iberia Bank will also be joining the conversation to talk about the mechanic of several innovation down payment assistance programs available to buyers.

Tipper adds that many people are now well over 30% of their monthly income on rento, and buying home makes more sense given a softening market.

“Home ownership is an investment,” Tipper says. “And unlike any other investment, you can insure your investment as your home rises in value.”

The Broad Theater, 636 North Broad Street, is hosting the event, and the theater’s owner Brian Knighten is also a Green Coast Realty agent. The theater flooded twice in the past two months.

“Everyone loves the Broad Theater, and we want to show our support for Brian and the commitment he has made to New Orleans and the Broad St corridor.” Tipper says.

To get the evening started,Green Coast is sponsoring a complimentary speciality cocktail for attendees.
